Saku Ski Garden PARADA

Resort features

Great location! Japan's only ski resort directly connected to a highway! The rate of sunny weather is at 90%! Easy access even if you are not good with snowy roads! Recommended for families and beginners as there are plenty of school lessons available! After enjoying skiing and snowboarding, refresh yourself at Miharashi-no-Yu, a day-trip hot spring with a natural open-air bath!
Welcome to the only ski resort in Japan directly connected to a highway! It’s approximately 90 minutes from the Kan-etsu Expressway Nerima Interchange and just 5 minutes by car from the Sakudaira Smart Interchange to the main North PARADA. Enjoy excellent access without the need for snow chains on most roads. PARADA boasts a high rate of sunny weather—90% throughout the season—and 80% of the slopes cater to beginner and intermediate levels, making it perfect for children, beginners, and families. This season, all snow scoots and other items on the "Snow Square Slope" in South PARADA are available for use, along with exciting new snow items! In North PARADA, our original food truck is now open, offering food that was previously only available at summer events, right on the winter slopes! Additionally, the indoor Kids' Land and sledding slope, which opened last year, have been expanded to better accommodate families with small children. Check our website for more details! PARADA is incredible again this year!
